Lot Essay

In recent years, the Chinese economy has developed in stride, meanwhile people's lifestyles have undergone a big change compared with the past. However, I doubt it the inner world of individuals has proceeded in such a pace. There are many unstable elements in our society, which will be exposed through different restriction of conduct, and all disharmonious scenes are possible in different social environments. Superficial beauty is not able to conceal the loneliness and frailty of the heart. Actually, we are all living in an unstable, insecure and highly sensitive materialistic world.
